Youth

The beauty of the young woman is stylized in shape and combined with substances, creating a contrast between clear and opaque, smooth and spongy, creating a strong impression for the viewer. The red patch behind the girl creates a spongy texture to contrast with the smooth texture of the girl's skin. Below is the indirect clear substance (silver paste covered with “cockroach” paint). Silver paste is a basic technique on lacquer painting, but to create the “depth” in the painting is thanks to the talent of the artist.
